You took a deep breath as you put on your helmet.

We can do this...

You thought to yourself as you walked towards the Black lion.

"You ready?" Asked Shiro as he caught up to you with his helmet at his side.

"Is anyone really ready for war?" You let out a chuckle.

"Point taken." He slid on this headgear. The rest of the team was already in the Black Lion.

"Any word from Mr.Holt?" You asked nervously. Shiro's hands tightened at his sides.

"Not yet." He pursed his lips as he thought about the millions of different outcomes if you all didn't have help from the American team back on Earth.

As you entered, you stood next to Keith taking his hand in yours. He unconsciously rubbed the ring that was hiding under your uniform. He switched the helmet communication so only you would hear. "The good thing is I already know you look great in white." He looked at your blushing face with a grin.

"Alright team, we're ready to head out." Announced Shiro to everyone.

-

It was time to have everything that you planned to come to life. The first part was simple enough. Black entered the planet without a hitch and thankfully you were all enveloped in the invisible cloak. Hunk, Pidge, Lance, Keith and you were out of the Black Lion once you were in range. Pidge had already gotten the map layout and pinpointed each Lion. Everyone made their way towards their own.

"I've got Yellow"

"Green is in my possession."

"Blue's here with me."

"Same with Red."

"And I've got white." You felt your lion come to life, it felt warm and comfortable as if White was giving you a hug.

"Alright, I'm closer to Pidge, Lance you get out and meet up with Keith, and Y/n you meet up with Hunk."

"Right." You all said in unison. Once the lions started to move, you knew the timer would start. 

The time when Stolgan and his main fleet would arrive.

"I've got eyes on the first drones coming our way!" Shiro announced. 

"On our way!" You and Hunk were together in seconds and soon enough everyone was back together and forming Voltron.

Just like Tixyan predicted, Voltron was surrounded. "Shield up! Y/n, form sword!" Shiro was entirely focused as he gave the orders.

As your Lion united with Voltron, there was an array of lasers hitting from every angle.

"They've ambushed us and we can't get into position to help yet!" Comunicated Allura from the other battleship.

"Damn it, we'll have to hold off alone for now," Keith muttered in frustration. The hard part was the fact that the ships were tiny compared to Voltron but they were incredibly fast and didn't allow Voltron to get any real hits.

"This isn't good..." You could hear the fear in Pidge's voice.

"What's going on?" Asked Shiro.

"The main fleet is already here." Your eyes went wide. How did they get here so fast and how did we not notice??

There was a loud booming sound as Stolgan's ship came into view. All of a sudden it stopped in its tracks. What's going on? You asked yourself, but then it looked as if the ship started to change. You felt the blood drain from your body.

"They couldn't have..." You heard Lance breathe, noticing that everyone else had put two and two together as well.

The enormous ship slowly transformed into its own version of Voltron.

"I'm seeing another fleet approaching!" Pidge added alarmed. "I don't know if it's Eloxes or if it's-"

"Did anyone call for backup?" You all heard Mr.Holt say from the communicator.

"Dad!" Pidge shouted happily. You felt some relief seeing that they made it just in time.

"Alright! What do you need us to do?"

"Take care of the drones, we'll take care of the machine."

"Roger that!" And almost instantly the small drones weren't a problem anymore. It was what was charging towards you.

"Sheild!" Voltron wasn't able to dodge the attack and had to take it head-on. Despite its size, the Machine was incredibly fast.

The impact was so great that it even shot back the other ships and even its own fleet. It had its sword pressed up against the shield and somehow its voice traveled to Voltron.

"Ɔ̶͍̮̦͖̥͌̀̉͆̌o̶̢̻͓͉̩̊̈́͋̚͝ɿ̴̹̖̣̤̪̇̋͗̊̌ɿ̷̣͍̠͚̰̅̇̊̃͝ῠ̵̡͚̣̘̪̍̏̂́q̵̙̹̝̳̦̇̽̈̿͝Ɉ̷̘̩͍̟͖͊͌̄͑̚ɘ̸̲͚̹͕̉̇́̎͝ͅb̸͇̝̜̖͎̽̔̽͋̃ ̵̣̣̼̖̏̈́̈́͝͠ͅT̵͈̭̠̱͑͆͊̈͑ͅɘ̶͇͙̥̹̣̈́͒́̈͝x̸̣̙̩̦̥͗̉̅̔̎Ɉ̶̡͚̙̯̲̆̂̾̕͝ ̶̝̟̜̩̒̈̒̕͜͝Ә̸̧͎̺̝̮͐̾̉͊̚ɘ̶̢͉͉̺̙͑́̿̊͑n̴̡̧̲̙̾̀̑̔͜͝ɘ̴͙͈̲̼͆͗̉͛͜͠ɿ̸̫̰̲͎̅̈́̋̽͠ͅɒ̴̛̜̤͍͕͓̓̅̂͘Ɉ̶̡̨̗̺̞͛̊́͒̉o̸̧̨͉̬̹͒͐̈̐͘ɿ̷̦̝͚͕̲̂̄̑͂͝" You could tell it was Stolgan speaking by the tone but the language was something you never heard before.

"I don't know what you said but FUCK YOU!" You pushed the lever forward, making the sword push him back, his chest exposed. You were ready to launch forward again to land a hot on his chest but all of a sudden Voltron disbanded.

"What the?! White! What's going o-" You were silenced once you noticed something emerge from the heart of the Machine. All of the Lions quickly dispersed and went off in different directions, avoiding the blast that emanated from what looked like the machine's core.

"No!" You could see from your window how it instantly evaporated its own soldiers and your comrades. Just like that, one forth of your fleet was eliminated

You felt your rage boiling up. "You bastard!" You were about to go back in but Shiro spoke up.

"Is everyone alright?" Each Palidin confirmed that they weren't harmed.

"Watch out!" Shouted Hunk as the machine lifted its arms and shot various missiles. 

You were about to evade but then you noticed that it wasn't aiming for you or the other paladins, it was going for Allura and the rest of your fleet.

"Allura, tell everyone to fall back!" You shouted and shot White in front of her ship to take the hit. You felt everything shake around you as you took the damage instead.

"Y/n!" Allura called out in the communicator. 

"I'm fine! Just get out of here!" You could tell she was hesitating but the machine was already charging up another round of missiles. "GO NOW!" With a heavy heart, Allura gave the signal and The Lions were the only ones left.

Okay white, if you have any mythical powers or something like that it would be really great if you could activate it now. You hoped internally that there was some way to turn the tide. For now, all you could do was dodge attacks and take down a few drones. 

"This is getting us nowhere, what do we do?!" Lance exclaimed. You bit your lip anxiously trying to think of something. You wanted to contact Tixyan but it was all in vain when you noticed he wouldn't answer.

He was part of the fleet that was eliminated. "Damn it!" You slammed your fist on the controls. "I really thought we could make it out." You mumbled to yourself.

Beep.....Beep.....Beep

You looked up and there was a small indication on the right of your screen, it was the shape of a person and an arrow pointing from the person to your Lion, then they overlapped each other, and all that was left was the person.

"Is anyone else seeing this on their screen?" Asked Hunk nervously. It was the same thing White was showing you.

Everyone said that they were also seeing the animation. "What does it mean? That we have to form Voltron?"Asked Lance.

"No, I don't think so." You said still trying to see what White was trying to tell you. Then the animation continued. The person had some kind of energy and it was slowly depleting. It was like the empty spaces that were missing were put in your mind by white.

"Guys what do we do???" Lance once again asked, panicked as he was still trying to evade the shots being fired just like the rest of you were.

"We have to morph with our lions and then form Voltron..." You explained. "But the drawback is that anything that happens to our lions happens to us directly..." That's why White never gave this as an option.

"How do we even do that?" Keith chimed in. 

"We just have to concentrate and unify our minds with our lions." Your grip on the handles tightened.

"Even if we wanted to we don't have time! These drones won't give us a break!"Lance said as he shot one of the million drones down.

"We'll get you some time." You were surprised to hear a different voice on the comms. "Who is this?" Shiro asked.

"Mr.Holt informed us about what was going on. The Americans can't do this alone." He had a thick Spanish accent and you looked out your window to see a ton of different ships with their flags painted on the side.

Spain, France, Russia, Italy, Germany, Brazil, Peru, you name it.

"We'll handle the little ones, you get a hold of the big one, over and out." You could see how the different colored ships filled the space around you and a newfound resolve engulfed you.

"Ready team?" Shiro said also with newfound energy.

"Right!" Every single paladin concentrated with their lion and it was a different kind of connection made. You felt yourself float and it was as if White had disappeared and you were in her position floating in space.

"Form Voltron!" The others came into view and it was nice to have everyone united once again. They grouped up in the positions their lions would be formed as Voltron

Shiro in the center, pidge to his left, and Keith to his right. Lance and Hunk stood below them side by side. Keith looked towards you and stretched out his hand to take yours. To you and the group, it was as if your bodies were the lions, but to everyone else, all they could see was Voltron just as they have before.

"Let's go kick some ass."
